Experiments on the rate of heat transfer from a hot gas to a cooler metallic surface (1916)
Babcock & Wilcox Company · New York, The Babcock & Wilcox co · leaf 17
r thepurpose of determining specific heat, such methods would becorrect. When, however, the quantity sought is a heat transferrate, there are other conditions that would condemn such amethod. Since the transfer rate is known to depend upon themotion of the cooling gas, it is obvious, to give… … into consideration, provided the motion is modified simply by thecooling of the gas. There is, however, no prima facie evidencethat the transfer rate should not depend upon the past historyof the gas motion and therefore be connected with the length ofthe tube. It must, therefore, be assumed, as…
